Common Functions of All Living Things (1-1)

• Responsiveness

• Growth

• Reproduction

• Movement

• Metabolism


Responsiveness and Growth (1-1)

• Responsiveness

• Also called irritability

• An organism changes in response to its environment

• Longer term change is called adaptation

• Growth

• An increase in size, number of cells, complexity of cells, or all

three

• The process of developing a variety of cells is called

differentiation


Reproduction and Movement (1-1)

• Reproduction

• Creation of new generations of similar organisms

• Movement

• Ability to transport things within the internal environment of

the organism

• Ability to transport the organism through the external

environment


Metabolism (1-1)

• The sum total of all the chemical reactions in the

organism

• Uses resources absorbed from the environment

• Uses respiration for cellular production of energy

• Organism excretes any waste products left over

from the chemical reactions


Checkpoint (1-1)

1. How are vital functions such as responsiveness,

growth, reproduction, and movement dependent

on metabolism?


Anatomy (1-2)

• The word anatomy means "a cutting open"

• The structure of things or how things are built

• Specifics of:

• Study of all the superficial and internal features of a specific

region of the body

• Systemic anatomy

that work together to perform specific functions


Physiology (1-2)

closely related.

3. Would a histologist more likely be considered a

specialist in microscopic anatomy or gross

anatomy? Why?


Levels of Organization (1-3)

• Chemical level

• Atoms are the smallest stable units of matter

• Atoms combine to form molecules

• Molecular shape defines function

• Cellular level

• Combination of molecules, atoms, and organelles to perform

a specific function in a cell



• Tissue level

• A collection of cells working together to perform a specific

function

• Organ level

• Two or more tissues working together to perform specific

functions



• Organ system level

functions

• Organism level

• Multiple organ systems working together to maintain health


Organism Level All the organ systems mustwork together for a person toremain alive and healthy.

their major functions.

and directs long-term changes in the activities of

Homeostasis (1-5)

• The maintenance of a relatively stable internal

environment

• The result of interdependence of organ systems

functioning together


Homeostatic Regulation (1-5)

• The adjustments in physiological systems that

preserve homeostasis

• A typical homeostatic loop contains:

• A receptor that receives a stimulus

• A control center that processes and integrates information

from the receptor

• An effector that responds to the control center to change the

body's response

8. Why is homeostatic regulation important to an

organism?


Negative Feedback (1-6)

• Corrects deviations from normal

• Most common form of feedback loop

• Variations from the norm that are increases are

brought back down

• Variations from the norm that are decreases are

brought back up


Negative Feedback: Thermoregulation (1-6)

• If body temperature drops too low:

• The brain sends signals to skeletal muscles to start shivering

• And to blood vessels in the skin to vasoconstrict

• Bringing the temperature back up

• If body temperature is too high:

• The brain sends a message to the skin to vasodilate and sweat

• Bringing temperature back down


Positive Feedback (1-6)

• Reinforces or exaggerates deviations from normal

• Variations from the norm that are increases are

further increased

• Fairly rare occurrence and must have an "off

switch"


Positive Feedback: Blood Clotting (1-6)

• If blood vessels are damaged:

• Chemicals are released to attract platelets

• Platelets release more chemicals

• Which start a cascade of reactions that lead to clot formation

• Each step enhances the next step

• Repair of the damaged vessels stops the first

chemical secretion

Chemicals

Damage to cells in the blood

vessel wall releases

chemicals that begin the

process of blood clotting.

The chemicals start chain

reactions in which cells,

cell fragments, and

dissolved proteins in the

blood begin to form a clot.

As clotting continues, each

step releases chemicals that

further accelerate the

process.

This escalating process

is a positive feedback

loop that ends with the

formation of a blood clot,

which patches the vessel

wall and stops the

bleeding.

Body Cavities (1-8)

• Protect internal organs

• Allow organs to change shape


Ventral Body Cavity (1-8)

• Contains viscera

• Organs of the respiratory, cardiovascular, digestive, urinary, and

reproductive systems

• Cavities are lined (parietal layer) and organs are

enclosed (visceral layer) by serous membranes

• Two major divisions

1. Thoracic cavity

2. Abdominopelvic cavity


Thoracic Cavity (1-8)
